The same procedure was replicated 3 times after positioning on a Impression Heater at temperatures of 35 °C, 50 °C and 65 °C, for each material.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>An increase in the impression material temperature from 35 °C to 50 °C reduces the setting time of an amount between 38.1% and 45.8%. Increasing the temperature from 35 °C to 65 °C results in a reduction of the setting time between 52.4% and 66.9%. At higher temperatures, the greater thickness of the impression material requires longer hardening times.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The tests carried out confirm the validity of the patented idea which reduces the time of impression taking while keeping the working time sufficiently long for the operator to manoeuvre.</p>","PeriodicalId":18709,"journal":{"name":"Minerva dental and oral science","volume":"72 1","pages":"16-23"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10803752","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
